If 200 MeV energy is released per fission of 
nuclei. Find the mass of 
consumed (in mg) per day in a reactor of power 1 MW assuming its efficiency is 
.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
1.324
(1.324)
Energy produced in one day 
joule
So input energy 
Energy released in one fission
No. of fissions per day 
Mass of 
consumed per day
no. of nuclei disintegrating per day × mass of
